It is Still Bush’s Fault

I continue to hear from those in my neck of the woods, online and from liberal commenters on the radio how Pres. Obama came into a big mess left by George W. Bush. Again and Again, it is Bush’s fault. The state of the economy under Pres. Obama is still Bush’s fault. On the chart below, take a good look at what Pres. Obama inherited and what we have now due to what has gone down during the Obama Administration.

Yes liberals lie, but lying can be found among conservatives too! Now on this issue of the state of the economy when Pres. Obama took office as oppose to the current state of the economy under his watch, some liberals are lying, while other liberals are believing those lies.

A Yes and a Huge No

Disagree with me. Be upset with me. But I give credit to Pres. Obama in the killing of Osama Bin Laden. There are so many people who will not do so. The bottom line for me is that it happened under his watch. If things had gone wrong and Bin Laden remained alive while our Navy Seals were captured and/or killed, Pres. Obama would be blamed and we would be saying, “Well it happened under his watch!” It is only the Bin Laden capture so far that the Obama administration receives any credit from me.

I hold Pres. Obama accountable for the economy which has worsened under his watch. The national debt continues to soar under the Obama Presidency. It is now higher than all 8 years under George W. Bush. Many Obama supporters continue to blame Bush and ignore what has come down under the Obama administration. From reading Obama-ite comments on various web-based liberal venues and hearing them have their say on right-wing and urban talk radio, I see they blame Republicans for everything before and since Barack Obama became President. They appear to have memory loss on having the Pres. along with a Democratic House majority and a Democratic filibuster-proof majority in the Senate for most of the first 2 years.

Yes Pres. Obama did get Osama Bin Laden, but under the Obama administration, the economy continues to go south while there is no plan to stop or even slow the national debt. I applauded the Bin Laden victory, but it is still a huge ‘NO’ for Pres. Obama. Osama Bin Laden is hardly enough against the state of the economy to get me to even think about voting for Barack Obama in November.

Bleak: The New Normal

Gary Varvel Cartoon

This is so sad, but at least people are getting jobs that place them in the over qualification category. My year of 1973 was also not a great time to graduate and look for a job. Back then, the policy of not hiring people who were over qualified for a position prevailed.  Through the years that I worked in child care, I worked as a teacher in a center that would not hire an over qualified person for any of the classroom positions. When I directed a center for a for-profit chain, I was told not to hire any over qualified people, because they are still on the hunt for the job that befits their degree, less loyal and would not give full commitment to the children.

There are people out there who feel college is a waste, but then they want college degree people educating their young children, helping them with legal issues and etc. I know a few folks who are telling their teenage sons and daughters that they are on their own for paying for education after high school, because of the bleak outcome for today’s college graduate as featured in the “New Normal” editorial cartoon. They feel college is a wasted investment. And to think this bleak situation continues and increases under Pres. Obama! I hope the people most affected think seriously about not voting for him in November.

I must add that ”child care” at the end of the list  in the cartoon would be needed regardless, even if people could get jobs befitting  their degrees.

Inherited From Bush and What We Have Now

I continue to hear that today’s lousy economy is Bush’s fault, but look at what was in place written in green when George W. Bush left office and current results of the Obama presidency in red compared to what liberal lefties falsely believe and try to spin.

This Mayor Knows The Real Deal

Ed Schultz of MSNBC was out in Ohio with the folks who are against Gov John Kasich and the Republicans’s common sense approach to dealing with economic issues. He interviewed Toledo, Ohio’s Mayor, Mike Bell who ran as an Independent. Mr. Schultz is for taxing the wealthy to help meet union demands for worker salaries and benefit increases. Click on the image to view the video of the interview. Listen (midway) for the bottom line response from Mayor Bell on why he supports Ohio’s Issue 2, despised by leftist liberal thinkers, especially those connected to unions. Hint – Can’t work with non-existent money! The Mayor is firm and does not back down. Read more here.

But He Blew it Up!

It can be argued that the policies of the George W. Bush administration drove the U. S. economy into the ditch. But the Obama administration’s policies and legislation not only did not do much to keep the economy from getting out of the ditch, but pretty much blew the economy up while in the ditch.
